This has probably been the most relatable of all the main characters for me, and I absolutely loved the story. The o lyrics reason it's not 5 Star is because I did take like a month long break. But other than that, this was my favorite book in the series. But to be honest each book has been better than the last

The Evergreen Heir is the 4th book in the Five Crowns of Okrith Series! I read the first 3 books in the series a few months ago and this one is definitely my favorite of the series, so far!

This book follows Neelo, a non-binary, neurodivergent bibliophile who is next in line to the crown of the Southern Court, and Talhan, the Golden Eagle, who is known for his skill on the battlefield and is Neelo’s betrothed.

Out of all the characters in this series, I feel like I can relate to Neelo the most. They are introverted and would rather be lost in a book than be the center of attention. Neelo’s struggles with anxiety and self doubt are so relatable, and their character growth in this book is incredible.

I love Talhan so much! He is perfect in literally every way. He was so understanding and patient with Neelo. He respected their boundaries and I fell head over heels in love with him. Tal is my forever book boyfriend.

A big thank you to NetGalley and AK Mulford for this eArc!

The Evergreen Heir is everything I wanted it to be and more. It is the fourth book in the Crowns of Okrith series and follows Neelo and Talhan and their experiences in the Southern Court where Neelo is Heir to the throne. This book introduces another aspect of the plot that differentiates this book from the others preceding it. That being said, this book does feel to be more information-rich than the previous books, but I feel that it fits the aesthetic of the main characters well.

For the romance aspect of this novel, it is clear from the first page where it is headed, but that does not take away from how enjoyable it is! Mulford does an excellent job giving context to both characters and their history to show/prove why they are meant for each other.

Overall, this novel has not only made me super excited for the final book in this series while being a super entertaining fantasy romance book in its own right. AK Mulford always does a fantastic job ensuring that each of their books is full of diverse and queer characters which is both phenomenal and important. Can’t recommend enough!
